After much experimenting with various inks I have found that Memento Dye based inks seem to leave a really crisp image.
As you can see I have used my favourite "Hydrangea" image from Hero Arts and the background is "Old Letter" I added a few seed beads to the flower to give a little sparkle, the lace is all the way from France. I picked up a few bits in the Antique Market in Nice and thought it finished the card perfectly.
Just a quick post today.
P.S. My new blog header is inspired by my holiday!!
